Depends on what part of the country. That price is just fine. Regular
price at my preferred retailer is $1.67, and that's on the cheap side. I
wouldn't expect a wholesaler to give me much of a break on 18lbs worth of
butt. I'm sure others pay well over $2/lb - like, northern CA.

I've just recently seen $1.49 at the super box stores. I kind of feel
that is high.

I usually see $1.58 up here, but sale prices can run as low as $0.98.

Yeh. Cost Cutter had 'em for .98/lb (2-pack) a week ago. A weekend I
was going to the Lady's, so didn't get any.

You on the map yet, Brett?

$1.15/pound for "pork shoulder blade roast" at Seattle-area Safeway stores.
Big flabby boneless pork shoulders are $1.39/pound at the local Costco, and
somewhat cheaper at Cash N' Carry. I greatly prefer the smaller roasts from
Safeway. The yield is much higher percentage-wise and IMO the flavor is
way better too. I try to buy the shoulder blade roasts in the mid-4# sizes
and not the larger ones as the smaller ones taste better to me.
